Carbon Fiber, Graphite, and Composite bows have gained widespread popularity among musicians as quality alternatives to wood bows. The creation of a high-quality composite bow requires as much artistry and craftsmanship as the traditional wooden bow, with the added benefit of strength and consistency. The quality and availability of Pernambuco (the traditional wood used for bow construction) continues to diminish due to the over-cutting of the Brazilian rain-forest which makes the composite bows (made with man-made materials) a wonderful addition to the bow market. We at Lashof Violins pride ourselves on offering a large selection of composite bows.
